Good news, Christmas lovers: you cankeep your lights up all year, provided you choose the type. It's critical that you choose holiday lights made for outdoor use, as these can withstand winter weather conditions. In addition, it's best to use LED lights instead of incandescent ones. LED bulbs can withstand temperature shifts and are energy efficient.
If you are considering leaving your holiday lights up year-round, ask your lighting installer about permanent installation. This project costs around $3,500 but gives you about six to 10 years of LED lights and adds a pleasing aesthetic to your home.
Take a picture of your house to easily replicate the same design for next year and keep the clips and accessories. When storing your lights, wrap them around cardboard so they don’t get tangled.

There are several ways to hang Christmas lights safely. Here are some key Christmas light safety tips to keep in mind:
Always use Christmas lights and extension cords that are rated for outdoor use.
Don’t overload outlets by plugging in too many lights.
Opt for LED lights for a safer display that saves on energy costs.
Do not use old or broken Christmas lights.
